Shortly after I installed Windows 10, the Minimize, Restore Down/Full Screen and Close buttons are gone. I reinstalled FF but they are still not there.

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Thanks for your quick response Sorry for my slow one.

Not sure what you are asking about. If you mean the background and colors for the window, it is the same as I had before. It is called Walnut2 for Firefox.

Ok, but why is it broken when using everybody else's themes?

It's also not just since Windows 10, but any version after 39.0.
